HANDLE HOLDER.

Application 1; led March 31, 1921.

(GRANTED UNDER THE EPRQVISEUNS U1? 5G1 035 MARCH and useful Improvements in Handle lilold' ore (for which I have tiled application in Switzerland, Nov. 8, 1919, Patent No. 8",(,O8) of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists in an improved handle-holder for floor-brushes, brooms and the like, comprising at least two oblong guidingeleinents which, between their extremities, are loosely connected by at one connecting member in 'sucha' manner as to rock about this member. l

@n the accompanying drawing, Fig" an elevation of one embodiment or 'he invention, shown with a handle inserted thereinto and applied to hruslrlmdiy. Fig. ,Zis a sectional view token along the line A in Fig. 1, without the handle; Fig. 3 is it view taken from beneath the holder. Figs. fl: and 5 are, respectively, a side elevation of :i modified form of holder, and a section on line 55 of Fig. 4.

a represents the two guiding-elements forming each a part of av conic surface. Tlhey are provided each with an eye 0 on their outside, a ring 5 loosely connecting said elements a being inserted into these eyes. The loose connection between this ring and the two guiding elements a, that is to say the possibility "for these elements to rock about the ring 7), enables the elements a to become displaced one with regard to the other in such a manner to alter the angle which they form with the axis of the cone. This enables the holder to suit different diameters and conical forms of the holders to be fastened and m? the holes in the brushhodies and the like. Further this connec- .lis

tion permits a limited relative displacement of the elements a in the direction of their length.

On its lower extremity each guiding-element (4 is provided with an outwardly extending; toothed flange (Z. With these flanges I the handle-holder is put into the bore f provided in the hrush-b0dy e or the like. If

now the handle g ls driven hei a'veen the two guiding-elements a, w a will be driven i' in order to its 'tat-e the removing of the handle, a flange it is tori-med on the upper end of each. gu di element a. By hosting upon this flange h a hammer or the lihe while the handle is held farther up, this latter is released fiOllflillG holder. Eli wards the holder may he removed, if desired hy releasing; fiiIOD'l. the wood the tee 'h of the il ;e (Z by forcing the elements a inv-iardly or towards each other by hammering; them on their sides. i it In certain cases, for instance with extremely is go holders, more than two guiding-elements may be employed. ,But in gen erel, two willhe sutiicient.

Instead of providing two eyes 0 and one ring on eye c may be arranged on each of the two long: edges oi? each guiding); ele

ment a and two adjacent eyes of the two i parallel cots extending from the top of each guiding-element a downward to a given point and bending outwardly and downwardly that part of the metal l i between these two cots.
